We will eventually host the technology required to access a UT master server again via Dreamcast UT. This will either be the old software that I work on as a tester/researcher alongside the developer Luigi A. (who is not a former gamespy employee, but rather a security researcher), or the newer version of it that I had been working with alongside DCTM.

I have pruchased a new server for OC and it is up and running, but it is a linux server and to get our windows reliant software running on it is going to take some extra effort and testing. We also cannot run any gamespy tech until we have enough sorted out with IRC security, as it requires setting up an IRC server for starlancer to run. The community is going to have to be patient as this infrastructure is setup over time.

If you can acquire the server software for DCUT from the original developers, then great! Though do remember to make the files available to the communiity. This is pretty important with regards to historical preservation.

Will be continuing to test things together with the developers for some time until it runs and if we have the required software to make the master list online then that would make the game practically back forever once we get the server to work.

The master server that Luigi Auriemma and lordnikon developed does indeed work. After Gamespy shutdown and the then running master server went offline, I tested finding it surprisingly easy to set up.

I'm responding to this mainly so I'll be kept up to date via email about when the UT server gets back up and running. I would love to play DC UT online. And with that, here's a fun anecdote: I bought the Mac OS version (pre-OSX I believe) of UT when it first came out in '99. I quickly discovered some cheat codes, one being invincibility, and basically just used it as a means to blow off steam (running around shooting people with a nuclear missile launcher.) But the drawback was I never got any good at the game (never really got good at FPS games in general.) Now I have the Dreamcast version of UT and I look forward to spending many hours honing my skills waiting for the server to go online...
